<title><![CDATA[Amish Market]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The Amish and Mennonites are two related cultural groups that have
settled largely in the Midwestern U.S. Their religious roots come from
a figure in the German Reformation named &quot;Menno Simons.&quot;Amish
and Mennonites both live, to one degree or another, removed from normal
life. They resist technological change and see religious and spiritual
value in doing things &ldquo;the old fashioned way.&rdquo;Different
communities have different ideas about what technology is acceptable,
but all of them share values that make them honest, hard-working, and
resistant to change.

Questions and Answers
Are you Amish?No,
we are not Amish or Mennonite ourselves. We are Christians, as are the
Amish and Mennonites, but we do not observe a technologically simpler
life for religious reasons.We admire the Amish and Mennonites and find their lifestyle appealing from a human point of view, as many other people do.

Where near Fredericksburg do Amish People live?There
are no Amish settlements near Fredericksburg. The products we sell we
bring down from the Midwest and Northern Midwest where Amish and
Mennonites originally settled.We do think that an area like
Fredericksburg, which seems a little frozen in time itself, would feel
a little more home-like to an Amish person. Many of the values shared
by Amish and Mennonites are visible in Fredericksburg.

Why do Amish People Sell Furniture?The
great majority of Amish people live in simple agricultural communities.
They grow enough food to feed themselves and make by themselves many of
the things that they need. Like all farming communities, though, they
still need cash to purchase things that they cannot grow locally, like
spices, or make themselves, like medicines and paint.So, these
communities do a variety of things to bring cash in from the outside
world. Amish craftsmen have found that their values of quality, simplicity, and ingenuity are very attractive to outsiders.  So, they make more than they need and convert some of the rest of it to cash by selling it.&nbsp;For more information visit http://amishmkt.com ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Texas Clay Festival]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Featuring
over 60 of Texas&rsquo;s finest clay artists, the Texas Clay Festival offers visitors
the opportunity to meet the artists, view and purchase their latest
work , and watch demonstrations throughout both days. It&rsquo;s been called
a two-day clay love-fest. Students and educators, professionals and
collectors&ndash; anyone with an interest in clay&mdash;can be found in Gruene,TX&nbsp;
on the 4th
weekend in October to celebrate the ancient art of ceramics. Having a
good time, celebrating the media of clay and educating the public in
the ceramic arts has been a goal of the festival organizers since its
inception in 1993--This is not just another craft show!

                
                Clay
enthusiasts are invited to observe demonstrations in wheel throwing,
sculpture,&nbsp; hand building and surface decoration techniques throughout
the weekend. This is the perfect time to watch and learn the ceramic
techniques that the participating artists use to shape and decorate
their work. Crowds also gather to watch raku firing demonstrations. In
this firing method, pots are quickly heated in a small gas kilns. The
pot is removed while glowing red -hot.&nbsp; Using tongs, the potter
carefully places the red hot pot in a container filled with straw,
woodchips, newspaper or other organic materials. After a short cooling
period, the finished pieces are revealed&nbsp; - a shimmering, glazed pot
with the mark of the fire. During demonstrations questions and feedback
are encouraged in a casual and friendly atmosphere that is a hallmark
of the festival.
                
                At
the information tent, festival visitors can purchase t-shirts and bid
on clay work donated by participating artists at a silent auction that
takes place on both days of the event.&nbsp; Auction proceeds are used to
help potters in need, award clay related scholarships, and fund
festival events. Auction bids are final on Saturday at 3:00 pm and
Sunday at 2:00 pm.
                
                While
in Gruene, plan to shop in the many unique stores, dine in any of the
fine restaurants and even kick up your heels a Gruene Hall, Texas&rsquo;
oldest dance hall. Gruene is located just four miles north of New
Braunfels.&nbsp; From San Antonio take I35 north just past New Braunfels to
the Canyon Lake exit FM 306. Go left two miles to the traffic light and
Hunter Rd., turn left and follow to Gruene.&nbsp; From Austin, take IH35
south, exit FM 306. From Houston take IH 10 West to the New Braunfels
Hwy 46 exit and go north to New Braunfels. In New Braunfels Hwy. 46
becomes Loop 337, stay north to Common Street (approx. 2 miles) turn
right, go one block to Gruene Rd., turn left and follow Gruene Rd. to
the Gruene Historic District. 
                
                Please
join us for the two days of fun and education in the ceramic arts.
Start or add to your collection of pottery and sculpture by some of the
leading clay artists working today. Admission to the festival is free.Visit our web site at www.texasclayfestival.com.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[ZACH Theatre]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Zachary Scott Theatre Center (ZACH) operates two theatre buildings
located at the corner of Riverside Dr. &amp; S. Lamar Blvd. on scenic
Town Lake. Free parking is available in front of both theatres.
		Founded
in 1932, ZACH is one of Austin&#39;s most vibrant and innovative arts
organizations and Central Texas&#39; oldest professional theatre. ZACH&#39;s
mission is to engage Central Texas in a dialogue by producing
professional theatre of the highest artistic quality, inspired by a
unique artistic vision and to offer a diverse theatre experience which
is accessible to the community as a whole. In addition, ZACH fosters
artistic education, expression, and development in children, teens and
adults through a variety of outreach opportunities.
&nbsp;
		Under the
leadership of Artistic Director Dave Steakley and Managing Director
Elisbeth Challener, ZACH&#39;s critically acclaimed productions draw annual
audiences of over 150,000 persons. From The Rocky Horror Show to Angels In America, from The Who&#39;s Tommy to The Gospel At Colonus, and from Noel Coward&#39;s Present Laughter  to Omnium-Gatherum
innovation defines ZACH&#39;s Mainstage. At ZACH, we seek in our work to
not only reflect Austin, but to inspire, encourage, motivate, and
engage Austinites in vital dialogues which have resonance in our
community on topics like race, gender, sexuality, freedom,
responsibility, and compassion among many others. We produce plays and
musicals with a unique theatrical vision that breaks the fourth wall
with the audience, that re-interprets a familiar work in a way which
makes sense for Austin, that embraces Austins vibrant live music scene,
that engages viewers as participants in large scale works in our very
intimate theatres, and that lifts the human spirit.
		Our
audiences tell us the number one thing they enjoy about ZACH is the
intimacy. We have come to understand that for our audience this refers
not only to the close physical proximity of our audience to the actors
on-stage, but also to the powerful states of emotional and spiritual
intimacy which our work promotes. Transformation is a primary
characteristic of the theatre we create, and as characters often
transform on-stage before our audience&#39;s eyes, hopefully the audience
has been engaged in an experience that also carries the tools for
personal change on some level.
		Because we desire a dialogue
which is inclusive, ZACH is committed to diversity and is a leader in
the state at providing opportunities for artists of all races to
participate fully in the artistic process. And because we are committed
to building an audience for this art form in the future, we are
engaging young Austinites in a variety of programs that are designed to
build self esteem and self awareness, and ignite within them the fire
of self-transformation that is accessed in meaningful theatrical

<title><![CDATA[Get Well Austin]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Make your body sing with natural approaches to wellness.Approaching health issues without dealing with the underlying causes (stress) is like trying to pump up a tire with a hole in it.Our approach to restoring wellness:-Identify underlying causes of health issues (stress)-Reduce or eliminate the stress-Support the body to repair damage done by extended exposure to stress.&nbsp;

Stress: The Underlying Cause of Health Problems*

&nbsp;&nbsp;
There are three general types of stress:(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; chemical or nutritional stress, 

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; emotional stress and 

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; mechanical or structural stress.  



&nbsp;

An example of chemical
stress is the exposure to toxic compounds, such as pesticides or heavy
metals, in the environment.&nbsp;A nutritionally deficient diet is an
example of nutritional stress.&nbsp;Conflict in personal relationships can
cause emotional stress and a misaligned spine can cause structural
stress.

&nbsp;

Regardless of the type of stress, the body responds the same way.&nbsp;That
is, it turns down the digestive and immune systems and puts the body in
a fight-or-flight survival mode.&nbsp;In the fight-or-flight mode, blood
flow to the brain, muscles, heart, and lungs is enhanced at the expense
of the other bodily functions, including digestion and immune
function.&nbsp;Stress reactions are normal when they are infrequent and last
for a short period of time.&nbsp;On the other hand, when stress is sustained
for long periods of time, it can lead to health problems including
chronic fatigue, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, lack of weight
control, and other degenerative diseases.

&nbsp;

When
dealing with a health challenge without removing or at least reducing
the underlying stress, it is like trying to pump up a tire with a hole
in it. &nbsp;You can make some progress, but you will not be able to
return it to its normal level of function.&nbsp;On the other hand, removing
a stress that is an underlying cause of a health problem, paves the way
to restoring wellness.

&nbsp;
              I was referred to Pat Painters because I was about to start 
                Chemo. The oncologist recommended having my head shaved before 
                it started to fall out. Pat Painter&rsquo;s helped me find the 
                perfect wig and not only that, they also saw me when it was time 
                to &quot;shave&quot; my head. I expected this to be very upsetting 
                but the staff there made it one of the most fun and memorable 
                experiences of my life. We laughed, did funny haircuts and they 
                made me feel so beautiful in the end. I cannot remember the last 
                time I was in a place of business where I felt so relaxed. Thank 
                you so much for all you have done at what could have been such 
                a hard time, but as it is, was one of the most fun, freeing experiences 
                ever!!!
